The consensus among users is that the game lacks a traditional story, with many reviews explicitly stating "no story." While players enjoy the random missions and sandbox elements, they express a desire for more structured content, such as a story mode or enhanced mission systems, to enrich the gameplay experience. Overall, the focus remains primarily on gameplay rather than narrative development.
- “The potential for a campaign with the unique gore system of this game as well as the short time-to-kill (TTK) is exciting. Imagine being deployed on a helicopter, walking through the forest only to hear a mutant. You use your shotgun to blow its head off, find a dirty and dusty facility, kill mutants and other enemies, and eventually face the shadow mutant in a huge room.”
- “The random missions are awesome and provide a nice time-kill. I would love to see more of these fun and miscellaneous missions!”
- “There's multiplayer, detailed and fairly realistic gore, many ways to play with, torture, and kill your character and other NPCs. The character customization, in-game workshop, and various scenarios you can create add depth to the gameplay.”
- “This game isn't a story-driven game and is mainly just a sandbox shooter (in other words, this is just GMod but bad!).”
- “I won't give a final score yet and I won't give more points as I have nothing else to give points on because the story barely exists and there is not much to criticize the game on.”
- “Only gameplay, doesn't include a story.”

- “A ton of glitches like neutral/hostile NPCs sometimes just flying away, etc. I think if they fix those types of bugs it would be a lot better, but currently, I don't think it's worth it right now.”
- “Buggy as hell and can crash easily, but it's a good time.”
- “It's kind of getting worse because the game is getting laggier and there are lots of bugs, and updates are bugged too, so it's still fun, just very buggy sometimes.”

I could go on and on but I'll spare you the details.”
- “You'll need 10 lives for grinding - Jesus!”

What would make this game even better is support for weapons, NPCs, and items workshop, similar to other sandbox games. This would make it infinitely more replayable!”
- “This one has very few features to keep it replayable.”

It would make this infinitely more replayable for sure!”
